October 4: Character in the Quiet

Look at your main character today. Specifically, who are they and what do they do when there is downtime? If they are sitting in a chair looking out the window, is their mind racing? Are they itching to scroll through their phone? Are they content? This is one of my favorite ways to dig into how a character thinks and behaves and fixates on what is important to them, by removing all other points of distraction.
